Extract From the History of Jones County, Ga
Pg 220 History of Jones County
Green Roberts House
 
"John Wilder sold 101 1/2 acres of land to William
Wilder on July 6, 1820 and William built a house.  In
1852 Green Roberts bought the house from William
Wilder.  At some time rooms were added prior to this.
Wooden pegs and hand hewn timbers of virgin pine were
used in the construction and the house is sound and
attractive now.  The great-granddaughter of Green
Roberts (Mrs George Hadaway) lives in the house now and
it is owned by Mrs CC Jones of Macon. "

I am pretty sure that  William Wilder would have been
the gr-gr-gr-grandfather of Mrs Hadaway. I believe,
Green Roberts, who purchased the house was William's
Grandchild,  the son of Luke Roberts and Elizabeth
Wilder.
